Injury on duty (COIDA)

Injury on duty? Get the COIDA claim right

When someone gets hurt at work, the paperwork starts. Log the incident, keep the forms and medical certificates together, and track the claim from open to closed.

What it does

  • Logs each incident: who, when, where, the injury, the body part, the treatment given and the days lost.
  • Tracks the case from open to closed, and the COIDA claim from not filed to W.Cl.1 or W.Cl.2 submitted, accepted or rejected.
  • Keeps the COIDA reference number with the case.
  • Holds the paperwork: W.Cl forms, medical certificates, investigation reports and photos, uploaded from a computer or a phone.
  • Records the return-to-work date, the root cause and the corrective actions.
  • Shows open cases and days lost this year at a glance.

How it works

  1. Report the injury

    Log the incident and the injury details when you hear about it.

  2. File the claim

    Submit the forms as usual, then upload them and record the COIDA reference number.

  3. Close it out

    Update the status as the claim moves, record the return to work, and close the case.
